1
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:13,599
welcome to my unboxing and first look at

2
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:13,599
the Sony

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,080
fs700 camcorder which will be uh which

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,960
will be used for Tech tips purposes this is uh this is a oh it cost a lot of

5
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:29,960
money so yes this was something I legitimately purchased in order for us

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,239
to bring you all kinds of higher quality

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,239
production values and all kinds of good

8
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:39,640
sort of stuff let's see what Sony has to say for themselves on the outside of

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,840
this very very boring Brown packaging so

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,520
here's a bunch of hoo-ha about trademarks and registered trademarks and

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,199
whatnot here's a big warning right on the top of the box damage to this unit

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,160
verifiably verifiably caused by the use of non infolithium batteries will not be

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:01,680
covered by the warranty uh when using SD class 4 or faster as recommended all

14
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:03,800
right we've got a super 35 cosos X more

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,240
whatever that is probably the sensor in all likelihood it has a 4K sensor in it

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,640
that's something of note so you have to get a firmware upgrade later on down the

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,880
line to get 4k support they're estimating it'll cost $500 to $1,000

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:22,759
which still makes it a great value for 4K capture but I think is absolutely

19
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:28,200
ridiculous for um just charging for firmware that's not

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,320
my my IT industry Roots would uh would would disagree with that particular

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:39,880
approach so ABC HD is how it captures two cards however it also has the option

22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:43,799
of capturing two HDMI just with uh using

23
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,799
an HDMI output and a capture card such

24
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:51,840
as the intensity Pro from Blackmagic which I also purchased so okay we have

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:58,119
one of those microphone doodads let's just go ahead and open it up so wind

26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,000
blocker let's just okay forget it I'm not going to be able to open that you

27
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:08,160
know what open thank you there we go just a simple

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,360
foam one foam there fascinating

29
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,519
interchangeable lens digital HD V recorder okay operating guide very very

30
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,160
short limited warranty here so labor is

31
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:20,239
for 90 days and parts say one year onee

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,440
warranty on this thing good thing I bought it with my Visa which has an extended oneyear warranty content

33
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:31,120
management utility okay interchangeable lens digital hdv oh there's the real

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,319
manual on a disc hey way to go Sony and then here's apparently another one

35
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:37,879
here's an operating guide setting the headphone sound all that kind of good

36
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:43,840
stuff this is all no this is all English wow

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,840
okay all right what else we got in

38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,519
here is that an eyepiece I don't know

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,200
I'm not much of a camera guy actually diesel is the one who's going to be showing me how to use all this stuff so

40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:01,840
I'm just excited about the fact that we're going to have a okay

41
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,440
H magnify very cool I'm just excited about

42
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,799
the fact that we're going to have a uh a much better a much better camera overall

43
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:18,360
and that someone will be operating it and that we will be able to bring you

44
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,280
better better overall production values we'll be able to set like you know depth

45
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,120
of field and stuff like that so that you know it'll have like kind of that blurry

46
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:33,439
background and just generally look better this thing can capture it up to 960 frames per second which is also kind

47
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:36,280
of cool um although it doesn't really

48
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:40,360
capture any kind of decent quality at that frame rate and it can only capture

49
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:44,959
for I think a couple seconds but you can get some pretty reasonably long captures

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:51,400
at reasonably high quality at as high as 240 FPS which was is great for like slow

51
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,360
motion and that kind of stuff that uh we will obviously be playing with if we're

52
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,040
going to be investing this much into equipment you know you got to make sure

53
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:02,319
you're using it so it comes with a microphone

54
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,120
okay there's the microphone that matches that uh foam condom thing that goes on

55
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,360
top of it right there okay however we're going to be using a different mic so

56
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,280
we'll be using an ntg2 from

57
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,040
Road there you go that one comes with a

58
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,479
10e warranty see they understand how to stand behind an expensive product this

59
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,400
camera is like $8,500 and uh they give you a oneyear warranty

60
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,600
with it look at all these accessories and whatnot this is exciting so here's a

61
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:37,840
battery charger VCR / camera nice love it and then

62
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,240
charging there's a power adapter for it there's a DC output so this is oh okay

63
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,120
so you're either charging or you're outputting to the camera slash if you

64
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:49,320
have a VCR that runs off that connector then I guess you could do that I guess

65
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,520
they mean like video capture

66
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,880
recorder ooh okay this is the lens so

67
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:02,560
important to be careful with this I'm not going to not going to play around with this too much so it's a kit lens

68
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,919
but as far as kit lenses go uh my

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,720
understanding is this one's actually pretty decent so there's the little

70
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:14,120
cover for the end piece um looked into getting something

71
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,680
that was not a kit lens but did not end up wanting to go down that rout so here

72
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:24,960
we've got all of our manual manual controls for Focus as well as for

73
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Zoom cool beans uses an e-mount so something to be aware of guys is you

74
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,039
need an adapter that costs a few hundred if you want to use anything but a Sony

75
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,360
native e-mount lens on this camera uh that was again the reason we went with

76
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:43,000
the kit was because to get anything decent that was not the kit lens was

77
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:45,600
going to cost um at least 1,000 bucks so

78
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:51,960
so we went that route here's a microphone holder oh

79
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,039
that's disappointing cuz I bought one oh well now we

80
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:01,360
know what else we got here hm Okay so so

81
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:06,639
there's your hand piece which you can use to uh Zoom as well as something to

82
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,919
do with focus and photos so you attach that to the camera it's a very modular

83
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:16,000
design much like the fs100 so there's a lot of of pieces and uh and gizmos that

84
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,440
you can attach to it in order to customize the experience comes with a

85
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,479
remote see continuing the proud tradition of cheese ball remotes with

86
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,960
expensive gear that I've seen time and time again in my years in the uh in the

87
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:33,319
IT industry as well as whatever other industry just seems to be sort of by law

88
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:37,560
everyone does that here's a USB adapter of some sort guessing that's for pulling

89
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,800
footage off the camera here's some strap hopefully there's instructions to go

90
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:47,039
along with all this and lots of cables so here's a component adapter component

91
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:51,400
video out here is just is this really just RCA

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:58,440
cables really I mean if I really fs700 I need

93
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,599
RCA okay maybe maybe I'm missing something here I'm sure I'm missing

94
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:07,280
something but that just seems brain dead okay here is

95
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:11,960
another oh this looks like the piece to actually run the camera off of so

96
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,280
there's your uh your filter as well as your wire and power adapter so in that

97
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:21,520
case I have no idea what the point of this is cuz that's not even that's not

98
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,120
even the same like anything that's not

99
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,319
even remotely related okay it's okay diesel will be able to figure all this

100
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,479
out it won't matter for me two power cables for those two pieces for the

101
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,680
battery charger as well as to run the camera another USB cable which I'm sure

102
00:07:33,479 --> 00:07:42,960
there's a point to USB a to mini which is somehow different from this USB cable

103
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,639
which I can't identify what that is okay

104
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:50,759
ah infolithium battery so I'm going to need a bunch of these I suppose at some

105
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:53,560
point all right that goes there and now

106
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,560
we are left

107
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:01,840
with a battery

108
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,919
cover yeah we're not interested in that

109
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,759
oh no that's not a battery what is this I don't know it doesn't matter let's

110
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,759
open up the

111
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,080
camera wow it's big it's actually a

112
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:20,240
little bit bigger than I expected so bearing in mind I know

113
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,319
absolutely nothing I can already tell this is a lot more baller than the XA 10

114
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,199
that we're using to film this it does come with ND filters so you can use

115
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:30,520
those to adjust the something to do with the amount of light that comes through

116
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:37,959
or something like that that was one of the reasons we ended up going with the fs700 versus the fs100 you have to get

117
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:41,479
like little uh little ND filters to change the quality of the light and put

118
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:47,279
them over top with the fs100 whereas this one it's built in uh We've also got

119
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:52,480
manual controls for pretty much everything and its dog so that's a huge

120
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,959
advantage over something like the XA 10 that we've been using up till now where

121
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,920
everything's done via touchscreen interface that's extremely inconvenient

122
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:04,600
uh the ergonomics on the fs700 are also supposedly quite a bit better than the

123
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,839
fs100 although I've never seen either of them in person up till now so here do

124
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:12,600
you want to just come in and have a have a close look at the body here it's not that heavy uh once you throw a lens on

125
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,279
it I guess it's going to add quite a bit of weight but uh we've got a new tripod

126
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,240
as well that's going to help us with the additional the additional weight

127
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:24,920
requirements that uh that we have you know what let's throw the battery in and

128
00:09:22,839 --> 00:09:28,000
see what happens here hey I mean that's what we do on this channel right we just

129
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:34,079
sort of randomly do things and then we hope that it sort of works so there's an

130
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:36,120
indicator arrow that yeah that didn't

131
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:41,560
work oh there we go all right what happens if we turn it on power

132
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:46,240
on and it doesn't come charged oh yes it does there we

133
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,399
go and we can set things like

134
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,480
the time zone okay forget that for now

135
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:55,959
so there we go face detection last scene Auto manual

136
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,800
mode oo lots of cool stuff that I totally don't understand there's the

137
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,360
battery release button as well there's your mounting for your tripod actually a

138
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:06,720
wide variety of different mounting mechanisms here as well as little rubber feet so it doesn't go anywhere if you

139
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,880
put it down which is important cuz it's expensive okay headphone monitor so you

140
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,000
can uh monitor well sound just like that we've also got HDMI out so this is what

141
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:21,040
I talked about before where we'll be using HDMI out to capture to a black

142
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:22,360
magic card and then ah this one that's

143
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:29,680
what we're going to need when uh when we're doing 4K out so that's your HD SDI

144
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:31,920
out which is uh more flexible cables um

145
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:36,000
lighter weight all these are good things however there's these fancy red mirr

146
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:41,880
cables now so this is what we'll be using for HDMI capture that you can use

147
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,880
28 AWG wires and still achieve a 50t

148
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,680
distance on them so we'll be running that out of here wrapping it around an

149
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,600
ARM to make sure it doesn't pull too hard on the connector and uh and going

150
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:55,160
that route so here's all of your audio controls right here you control which

151
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,680
input and how much and who and what as

152
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,240
well as all the wow look at all these dedicated controls for playing back I

153
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:05,800
guess they really mean for you to use this in the field it's got a beautiful display on it great viewing angle on

154
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:08,480
that can you tell from there or I is it just yeah you can't really tell okay

155
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:18,360
awesome viewing angle on there so they really mean for you to actually be reviewing your footage a little bit to

156
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:20,000
uh LCD hold oh okay you can make it uh

157
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:24,519
yeah yeah you can make the LCD hold in place or you can totally release it so

158
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:27,600
that it's there we go okay some more mounting pieces mounting points for all

159
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,680
kinds of various accessories and stuff like I said very modular so you can can

160
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:38,320
release this as well and then put different sort of adapters and whatnot

161
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:42,200
this is this is for that something we

162
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:44,440
had some here we go this is for this I

163
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:49,200
think no it's not I have no idea what that's for you know what we'll be so

164
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:54,279
yeah we figured it out there it's for like a flash memory recorder thing so we

165
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:59,959
put that spacer in there now also uh there's your inputs for uh for audio one

166
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:03,600
and two just right there uh you can change modes from video to

167
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:08,920
photo I really hope you're not taking photos with this thing though because that's really not what it's for and uh

168
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,800
that pretty much covers it so here's your shoe mounts for various accessories

169
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:19,120
and whatnot so we're going to build it and then uh show you guys once it's

170
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,720
assembled so I think we got it assembled now like I said before we don't really

171
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,160
know what we're doing but uh we have this camera now so uh yeah it's bigger

172
00:12:25,199 --> 00:12:30,880
than I expected and you know we've got the microphone attached now so we ran

173
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:34,880
that to the to the input here oh yeah iPhone size comparison of course so

174
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,240
there that's the here I'll put that there iPhone can basically be like an

175
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,800
output for this thing or rather like a display for this thing so it's huge see

176
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:49,079
there there's the iPhone again there's the thickness and um yeah so we figured

177
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:52,920
out what this thing's for it is an eyepiece it's just a slight

178
00:12:50,839 --> 00:12:56,880
magnification and darkening of the LCD so you can you can see in there if you

179
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:01,680
were if you were able to see in there uh this doesn't work the zoom zoom here cuz

180
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:05,680
C uh Sony doesn't have motorized lenses yet for the emount so I don't know what

181
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:12,240
they were planning to do with that maybe they'll have it available as a firmware upgrade for $500

182
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:15,440
$1,000 um so I think that pretty much covers it we have to unbox we have lots

183
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:22,240
more gear to unbox here I'll show you this got the kinof flow lights we've got

184
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,480
man fro uh tripod we've got uh right

185
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,639
black magic a microphone more kof flow

186
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,120
lights very exciting stuff so stay tuned more unboxings to come
